Overview

On September 29th, 2025, Judge Kai N.

Data Breach Litigation No. 2:23-cv-01236-KNS.

NCB Management Services, Inc. (“NCB”) is a national debt buyer, debt collector, and provider of accounts receivable management and call center management solutions for financial services companies, banks, and lenders.

The action alleges that NCB was responsible for a Data Breach that occurred on or around February 4th, 2023. In addition, the allegation states that NCB was responsible for the data breach, which caused class members’ personal information to be accessed, stolen, or compromised as a result of the unauthorized third-party access to NCB’s system. The personal information included their first and last names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, employment positions, pay amounts, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, account numbers, credit card numbers, routing numbers, account balances, and/or account statuses.

Plaintiffs submitted legal claims that highlight negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, violations of state consumer protection, data privacy statutes, and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, declaratory and injunctive relief, and breach of contract.

As Co-Lead Class Counsel on the matter, Lowey Partner Christian Levis, along with Anthony Christina and Amanda Fiorilla, prosecuted the matter.

What the Court said

“I want to just put on the record that I recognize the skill and the efficiency of the attorneys. This case has been around for quite some time. We’ve had several hearings, we’ve had multiple phone calls, we’ve had a number of briefs that have been filed in this case, and I have found the attorneys in this case to be very skillful, very prepared. The briefs were excellent and allowed the Court to — really just set out all of the factors that were necessary for the Court to consider, all of the information, and the presentations have all been excellent whenever we’ve had a chance to meet here in person.”

– Judge Kai Scott, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania

We congratulate Mr. Levis, Mr. Christina, and Ms. Fiorilla for their exceptional contributions to this case.
